Summary

Organisations increasingly seek graduates with a deeper understanding of the social, political and moral dimensions of management, so that they can protect the wider interests of society. This unique programme answers the demand for a new kind of management graduate - able to navigate the wider environment and use philosophy as a tool to take on key political and social questions.

We create competent managers who can also see the underlying connections between complex problems. These individuals are able to respond to the demands of reconciling economic growth, sustainability and equitable social outcomes.

We make sure our graduates are in tune with contemporary political developments and international relations. You will learn how to deal with complex issues, such as the management of people and organisational change. You will develop in-depth knowledge of the major historical and intellectual theories, concepts and issues relating to politics, philosophy and the management of institutions.

Alongside this fresh way of thinking, you will acquire and build skills such as intercultural team working, negotiation, research design, and report-writing. You are free to focus on what enthuses you, with options ranging from Diplomacy to Contemporary Philosophy.

Your breadth of skills and ability to understand and present a world view will put you at a distinct advantage in the jobs market.

LUMS is connected to a thriving global alumni network and is linked to the Work Foundation. Past graduates now work in a variety of different industries and organisations, including consultancies and think tanks. The MSc Politics, Philosophy and Management is also the ideal programme if you wish to join a political institution or international body such as an NGO or the United Nations.
